This is Miura, a land where one in every 16 individuals are born sensitive to magic. Mages are the cream of the crop in a world dominated by arcane bloodlines. Beyond the mage is the Maister, and the greatest of the greats are the archmages. To nurture the sheer potential of arcane wielders, many legendary mages of old established grand academies across different kingdoms. And in the vast imperium, 13 schools within 13 kingdoms command great esteem and influence by boasting the strongest students of magecraft. One such school is Cinderfall, a premier institute in the heart of Imperial Baumwolland. Amidst its alumni is the fledgling teen Pollux, a young freshman with a good head on her shoulders and little else. But what else does she need? Mired by a wound from childhood and seemingly inescapable mediocrity, how can she hope to navigate a school of deadly, magical adolescence in a world full of monsters and mad sorcery? Maybe, she won’t.
